Comments

I noticed a couple of years ago how dental practices seem to be ahead of many other businesses in how they market themselves. I get more inquiries from dentists regarding the Google Street View tours and consequently have done more of the 360 degree virtual tours for dentists than any other business. A lot of other businesses could learn a thing or two from how dentists market their business.
